Chapter 861 Chu Huaian
Although Song Qingci and Shan Li stayed in the carriage and traveled every day.
However, the people in Fengxue Tower are not vegetarians.
Every day a large amount of news about Jiangnan is delivered to the carriage.
It mainly contains information about the county magistrates of various counties in Jiangnan, as well as recent events.
Before they left, His Majesty also gave her some information about Jiangnan.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Among the news sent in, there happened to be some about the Boyang County Magistrate.
After all, his move to find his wife and children was quite significant, not only did he not do it behind anyone's back, but he actually did it in a rather high-profile manner.
In Dachen, where people are not very open-minded, it is not a good idea to look for someone in such a high-profile manner.
Or it indicates that the two women were harmed by criminals and are missing.
County Magistrate Chu is truly vicious.
Even if this person is still alive, he can't go back in the end.
Who knows what happened during the time he was missing.
Nowadays, a woman's reputation is more important than anything else.
Mrs. Chu and Miss Chu are basically socially dead.
Chu Ling'er saw that the two men really had no intention of capturing her and her mother.
The stiff body slowly softened.
She let out a wry smile. "What else could it be? It's just a cliché story about a man who turns unfaithful."
Mrs. Chu was the original wife of Chu Huaian, the magistrate of Boyang County.
When they got married, Mrs. Chu was a famous talented woman in the local area.
Her father was a famous teacher in the academy.
At that time, Chu Huaian was just a poor student.
It's just that he has been smart since he was a child.
Mrs. Chu's father was impressed by his ability to study.
Willing to give him a hand.
She even married her only daughter to him.
Chu Huaian was also a very capable person. With the strong help of his father-in-law, he actually passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.
Although it is not the first place, the sixth place in the second place is also a very good result.
It is enough to give him many choices when appointing officials.
Later, for the sake of his daughter, his father-in-law hoped that his son-in-law could return to Boyang to serve as an official. He did not hesitate to use his connections to make arrangements, and when Chu Huaian was sent to serve as an official, he was indeed assigned to Boyang as a county magistrate.
Chu Huaian did not object to this result. Instead, he was very grateful for his father-in-law's help.
During this period, Chu Ling'er was born.
Although Chu Ling'er is a daughter, Chu Huaian did not show any dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, he was very nice to Chu Ling'er.
Therefore, when Chu Ling'er recalls her childhood, it is basically happy and joyful.
However, Mrs. Chu never became pregnant again after giving birth to Chu Ling'er.
One or two years is okay. Three or five years is also manageable.
But when Chu Ling'er was seven years old, her mother could no longer bear the rumors and gossips from outsiders.
He took the initiative to give Chu Huaian two concubines.
That is today's Aunt Zhu and Aunt Xu.
Aunt Zhu was the daughter of Madam Chu's wet nurse, while Aunt Xu was the illegitimate daughter of Madam Chu's distant relative.
Both concubines were personally selected by Chu Huaian's father-in-law.
They are all people whose family members have something on their hands.
They entered the palace only to give birth to sons to carry on the family line.
Just three months after the two concubines entered the mansion, news of their pregnancy began to spread.
Over the years, Concubine Zhu gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Chu Jizong, was registered under Madam Chu's name. He is now eleven years old. The other son and daughter were twins, a boy and a girl.
Chu Huaian was very happy and decided to let Concubine Zhu stay with him. She is now over nine years old.
Aunt Xu gave birth to one son and three daughters.
His son Chu Jihai is two months younger than Chu Jizon.
The other three daughters are eight years old, six years old, and the youngest is only three years old now.
Since Mrs. Chu already had Chu Jizong under her name, Chu Jihai was naturally raised by Concubine Xu herself.
Everything was fine originally.
Although after she was seven years old, Chu Ling'er felt that her father was getting busier and busier, and there were more and more children in the family.
However, she always thought that these were her family members, so even if there were some minor frictions, that was normal.
Whose brothers and sisters don’t quarrel or fight?
Besides, I am so much older than them, so it’s okay to give in a little.
However, two or three months ago, her life suddenly changed.
The father, who was originally gentle and kind, suddenly became harsh and aggressive towards himself and his mother.
The implicit meaning of his words was to ask his mother to resign and give up her position as the legal wife.
Chu Jizong is getting older now.
As the eldest son of their Chu family, it is not good for him to have a mother who is a concubine.
Mrs. Chu naturally refused.
The two quarreled many times and parted ways unhappily because of this.
To be honest, Chu Ling'er was a little scared after accidentally seeing her parents quarreling once.
However, she never expected that one day, she and her mother would be chased by criminals on the way to burn incense.
If her body had not been useless and if it had not been for the help of the heavy rain, she and her mother would have died long ago.
"You mean, County Magistrate Chu is dealing with you and your daughter in order to make Concubine Zhu the rightful mistress of the family? So that Chu Jizong can have a more legitimate birth?" Song Qingci asked with a raised eyebrow.
